I prefer the clean aesthetic of no brakes on my bikes

Bike Check: Comparing Jack Moir, Kasper Woolley & Christian Textor's 2023 Race Bike Setups
Crappy, boring bikes. These guys would be way faster if they put 18 different colors of anodized CNC parts on their bike.

@luked5: When was it in Haverhill? I used to work there when it was in Georgetown.

Video: Course Preview for the Loudenvielle DH World Cup 2023
What I was really hoping for in this preview was some heavy breathing effects

Nerding Out: Are More People Watching World Cup DH Racing in 2023?
@jimmythehat: If that were true I would think they would release the live view numbers. The fact they don't I suspect they are not flattering. Aside from that, it's a big assumption on your part. The forum is open to anyone who is happy with the coverage as well. While there are a few people commenting who are happy with coverage, the commentary is universally mocked, and even out of those pos comments most are not happy with changes to the format either. What is it that you think makes it overall better?

The way they have handled it this year I really don't want them to improve... I want them to crash and burn as quickly as possible so we can move past this money grab debacle

I am most interested in how many subscriptions they started the season with and how much it has grown or shrunk since.

Some people don't throw their money away as casually as you do...why pay for an outwardly worse product that was once much better and free? I reject it based on principle, not because of the money.
